Fitness Goals v. Life Goals

I don't know what to focus on right now. I desperately want to reach my fitness goals (they feel so close yet still so far!). I started my weight loss/fitness journey over a year ago, and I've made a complete lifestyle change. I've come a long way, and I'm proud of my progress BUT I'm just not where I ultimately would like to be. My weight loss has slowed waaaayyyy down (as to be expected, but still disheartening). I know the only thing that is going to finally get me to my goal is changing/ intensifying my workouts and starting a strength training routine.

But there are some other important life goals that I'd really like to focus on now. I've spent the last year+ putting most of my energy into this new lifestyle, that other areas of my life seem to be lagging (my career, mostly). I'm deeply unsatisfied at my current job and dream of moving out west in the next year or two.. but I'd just feel more confident and prepared for a life change like that if I can reach this damn goal first! So I'm at a bit of an impass here... Do I put my personal fitness goal on the backburner for a bit so I can focus on leaving my soul-crushing job? Or do I keep my head down for a few more months (or more) until I reach my goal, then focus on my career with new confidence and empowerment?

I do wish I could give both of these goals 100% of my attention 100% of the time, but alas I am only human. *sigh*

    well that very confusing but come to think we cannot rush things even if we wanted it. If you think that getting/ achieving your goal in fitness will add more confidence for you in finding a good and satisfying job then do this first. Because if your confident about yourself it will open all door of opportunity for you. Continue your fitness goal this might help you to get in shape http://bestadjustabledumbbellsreviews.com/

    Writing out what your concerns are is a good first step. No one can make decisions for you so keep writing: what is it about your job you hate ... why is your fitness goal falling apart ... what are the pros and cons of moving west ... do you have a job there (not a good idea to leave a job without another to go to) ... why are you restless?
